Hello everyone, I used to think this was a huge joke until I tried it - the "turn $5 into $50,000" idea. But after awhile I started to realize "This either works or it's a complete scam - but I intend to find out." Guess what? It works! In only three weeks, I've received $1827!! I don't know anyone who couldn't use a extra $1800 do you? And there is certainly lots more to come for me - up to $55,000!!! What about you? You can do it with only $5 and 5 postage stamps (that's only $6.60 in the USA - hardly what I call a risky investment when you consider the rewards). Everyone who tries this will make much, much more than that, so what have you got to loose? $5.00 plus postage? Big Deal! Hopefully you can see that this really does work and you'll read on. Follow this simple, perfectly legal 3 step procedure and you can't go wrong; ===================================================== First Step - Type or write your name and address on 5 separate pieces of paper with the words "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST". Fold a $1 bill or money order in each of the pieces of paper, place them in 5 envelopes and mail one to each of the following five addresses: 1- Tami Miller 200 S. Alpine Dr. Cornelius, OR 97113 2- Ken Rose 5815 Parfet St. Arvada, CO. 80004 3- Robert Knowlton PO Box 924 Concord, NH 03302-0924 4- JCL 1313 Wake Forest Dr. #125 Davis, CA 95616 5- RFP 9594 1st Ave, NE, #423 Seattle, WA 98115 Second Step - Now remove the 1st name on the list, move the other 4 names up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3 etc.) and put your name and address as number 5 on the list. You can do this by re-typing this article or simply editing it in a word processor. Third Step - Now Post your adjusted article to at least 200 Usenet news groups (there are over 20,000 of them). That's it! You are now in the Mail Order Investment Business and you will start receiving $1 returns by mail within a week or two. The more newsgroups you post to, the bigger your return will be. You may even want to rent a P O Box to handle the volume of mail you're likely to receive. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can use a pseudonym such as "The Manager" or "The Investor", but make sure your snail mail address is correct! How does this work? Of every 200 postings I made, I received an average of 5 replies for $5. Ok that may not seem like much but read on.... Each person who sent you $1 also makes - let's say, only 200 additional postings WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 4, i.e. 1000 postings. On average therefore, 50 people will send you $1 with your name at number 4. You make $50. Your 50 new agents make 200 posting each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 3 or 10,000 postings - average return 500 at $1 each is $500. They make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 2 = 100 000 postings = 5 000 returns at $1 each = $5 000. Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each WITH YOUR NAME AT NUMBER 1 and you get a return of $50,000 before you name drops off the list. AND THAT'S IF EVERYONE DOWN THE LINE ONLY MAKES 200 POSTINGS! Total income in one cycle = $55,500. And when you drop off the list - simply start over! Remember, this only costs Five dollars, 5 postage stamps and some online time. So what are you waiting for? You may be thinking "This has been around a while - What happens if the scheme is 'played out" and no one sends me any money"? Big deal! So you lose $5 - but with hundreds of thousands of new people joining the internet every day thats hardly likely to happen. Remember, follow the instructions and play fair - send those 5 one-dollar bills (this process is based on honesty not on cheating on the initial investment). Perhaps we'll meet on the beach in Hawaii. That is what my $1827 is going towards (I'll have to think about what to do with the rest of the $$$$ that is coming my way!)
